Artists Describing Their Art:
Jocelynn Grabowski - From childhood, we are molded to be who we are today. Because of this, I look at things differently than you do. I may notice the wood on the living room couch while you observe the color patterns on it first. When creating sculptural installations, I combine wood, metal, paint, and lights to make the viewer think and see in different ways. The work titled Black Light Dream, challenges our perspective. When the viewer stands in one location, what they observe will be different from another part of the room. Working on a large-scale with different materials and enclosed in a darkend space, I create this optical illusion. I intend for the viewer to find different focal points, highlighting the patterns and sense of movement throughout the work....
Jill Sneidman - aEURoeEvery other artist begins with a blank canvas, a piece of paperaEUR|the photographer begins with a finished product.aEUR Edward Steichen I first discovered my passion for photography while living in San Francisco, photographing at the Conservatory of Flowers. Ever since that time, I have been following my dreams traveling around the world photographing incredible scenes along my journey. Slot canyons, bridges and arches are among my favorite scenes to photograph. I also have a love for lake scenes and waterfalls. I enjoy bringing tranquility and serenity to my photographs. Colors can turn magical and shadows may seem mystical. The scene always has a story to be told. My intent is to bring this story to you in a photograph that hopefully conveys a sense of beauty from the mood and emotion that Mother Nature displayed on that given day. Jill Sneidman ...
Ariadna De Raadt - ItaEURtms always difficult to write about myself. I believe that I do not need many words to describe what I do. On my main page you can see hyperlinks that lead to my photos, paintings, vector illustrations, and a few articles. You can think that it is too many directions for one artist, but in reality everything what I do has a connection to architecture and design of interiors. IaEURtmd like to tell you that St. Petersburg (Leningrad) is my place of birth and it is always in my heart. Now, I live and feel like at home in The Hague (the Netherlands) and it is the most wonderful city in the world. As an artist I specialize in decorative painting. It's a new direction in my creativity, and it gives me a great inspiration since I can utilize new art materials and modern techniques. My last passion is photography. My photos are publishing in different American and European magazines....
Donald Mccray - I tend to focus on everyday observations of the world, real and imaginary. I want to make what I hope is a strong visual statement that will stand the test of time. I have a fondness for working in black and white as a tribute to the early masters. As I have said previously, print making is my favorite form of art; mainly because, you have to be a proficient draftsman, understanding line quality, texture, form, pressure, shade, tonality, perspective, design, surface tension and irregularities. My old professor (Lee Baxter Davis) at East Texas State University never let me forget figure ground relationships, and his theories for sequential values. The other side of my artistic palette is very comfortable when working with color, relationship, and harmony. My main desire when working with traditional , or digital photography with no digital enhancements is to capture a moment in time , and space. I am inspired by atmospheric depth, movement, design, lines, and shapes. I also enjoy the more experimental side of creating photography with a simple pin hole camera; also known as, a camera obscures. The creative thrust that I am trying to express is of paramount importance, and always at the center ...

Lou Posner - Dear Friends, The Posner Covid-19 sale of the past year has closed. To those who took advantage of the price breaks during the sale, congratulations on pocketing a tidy sum. Since I have not updated my price list here in well over a decade I thought I would take this end-of-the-year opportunity to do so. Updating the prices is a tedious and time-consuming process. I have to research current trends in the national and worldwide art market, examine auction results, research what art critics are saying about what is being shown, what the art magazines are writing about, what the vector and availability of art supplies is, etc. in order to arrive at fair market prices for my works. I feel glad for those patrons of mine who have enjoyed my work in their homes and workplaces over the years while they have seen a healthy increase in the market value of the work. I sold my first painting over 50 years ago for 25. Today, although the prices are higher, the bargains are still there, backed up by 50 years of experience at the easel. As you know buying here on absolutearts cuts out ...

Vyara Tichkova - I get inspiration from everything around me. Its can be a song, an emotion, a book, a song, a story from my friend, its unpredictable what can touch my soul... Im amazed how much abstraction have in the nature in the simple thinks and in elementary pictures of everyday life. My passion is to traveling around the world, every new journey gives me a fresh opportunity to develop and change my vision and ideas. I see new cultures, learn curious stories and stand in front of amazing natural views, I meet the achievements of man in everyone aspect. That take my breath and poses new challenges to me as an artist. I would not want to explain my artworks because I believe that the works of art are the connection between the artist and the viewer. This is another level of communication, another kind of language that does not need words ......
Laurie Delaney - I got into photography about 3 years ago. Photography is more than just a hobby, it's a passion. I use basic equipment and don't use any photo editing software. I like my photos to be natural and to capture exactly what I've seen in the moment I took the picture. I have recently been encouraged to share my photographs with others which is why I have joined this website. I hope you enjoy them....
